Veritas is Latin for truth. The first principle shown in the leaked document is to "tell your truth". I expect the name is chosen for that meaning rather than an homage to Project Veritas or Harvard.
- Bluestein 6y ago> "tell your truth" ... I actually hadn't connected the dots ... (Still, it must be said, to use such a "lofty" latinism for something as mundane as an astroturf campaign - when "veritas" evokes an almost "absolute" truth ... ... rubs me the wrong way.)
- jfengel 6y agoThey certainly know the meaning of the Latin, but these two names/mottoes are very well known. When I saw that an astroturfing campaign was called Veritas, the name Project Veritas leapt directly to mind. If I were them I'd have picked a different name. It's not a good association.
